I have the app brain app

So if I open it and hit "sync" it will sync every single app I have on my phone to my google account -- and then later I will get every one of them back ? for real ?

and what about contacts ? can I sync my contact to my online google account ? if so how
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yes everything

but as Electroz said, just not the settings for each program

you could use titan backup for just backup programs settings

but it might be risky, as many forum users have already reported problems restoring Apps backups from one rom to another rom

and that is even on 2.1

many Apps are known to break after 2.2

like my favourite CoPilot8...

I hope they release a newerversion of Copilot by the time 2.2 releases officially

Also, since I got my phone, over a month ago, I haven't update anything.

Is there an update to my Bell 2.1 firm ware ? (i'm sure there is)

How do I check my current firm ware to see if there are any OTHER 2.1 Bell firm wares avail ?

Question: Should I update my 2.1 firmware (via Kies) ? or just wait another few weeks to get the 2.2 Bell (assuming it comes out on time) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
What's co-pilot8 ? i have 2.1 maybe i could get it

Also, after using the 1-click lag fix, and an over clocking widget, my quadrant score came back at like 2200 !

I can only imagine how fast it would be with the Froyo.

which is why I want it so bad lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
JH2 is available via kies.

However, if I were in your shoes, I'd try to minimize flashing without the 3 button modes. Because froyo is just around the corner, I'd have to recommend waiting for that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
A quadrant score means nothing, unless comparing to other quadrant scores. The lagfix will not speed up games, or apps, or anything other than milliseconds off of load times. The old firmwares for the international I9000 had serious problems with black screens coming up while waiting for an app to load. The Lagfix does fix that. Bell's I9000M never had this problem to begin with. So, it is basically a quadrant cheat which puts people without the 3 button modes at risk of bricking (It's happened to several people on here). Also, your quadrant score generally does not improve much with froyo.

I suggest downloading Linpack for Android from the market. It will give you a benchmark of your overall app/game performance. This score will increase significantly with an upgrade to froyo.

re: copilot8

that's an offline GPS program, no need for data plan

it's the best of all the ones i've tested for Android

I used to be a TomTom user on WM, but CoPilot has shown me the light,,, soooooo much easier to use, and natural feel to it

TomTom was good, but it was bad at the same time, you couldn't see beyond the current area where you are on

CoPilot lets you browse around even during driving, which makes looking for alternatives routes super fast, if you are in a traffic jam
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvi33:
Updating via KIES is not worth it. Majority users who did the update went back to the 2.1 after a day or 2.

Beta 2.2 is not polished enough to be for every day use. Some apps crash, web browser has some bugs and ofthen sA lot of users had a lot tals for sec or 2 and so onand on.

Many users had a lot of problems with their phones locking up due to 2.2 writing in /efs folder ad changing "permanent data". There are some that did not have backup of this folder and backup was not old enough to restore it back to old 2.1 ones and stil have KoR-test region locked.

Long story short: Playing with kies update is not worth unles you have " i just want to see whats new" bug becouse its not usable for every day and can couze a lot of problems, including unreversable dmg to your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
You are referring to JPC I assume. That was NOT a normal kies update. You had to put kies in test mode, and then make kies believe you had a different phone to do the update. I don't understand why people don't see this as it was clearly stated in the instructional thread that this was not a full samsung update.

Kies (used without hacking the registry and test mode) is and always will be the safest way to upgrade your firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:

warranty will not be void by doing it the "safe" way via KIES

HELP ME PLEASE! Phone bricked or stuck!

I have the Galaxy S i9000. It was on JF5 and I tried upgrading it to JM1 using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769400 through KIES. It all went fine, till it booted and after that it got stuck on a black screen! Only the two touch keys light up and stay like that.

When I try to go to recovery, it straight away goes to the "Download" screen! I know the difference between how to get into recovery and the download screen... But it always takes me to the Download screen. ADB is also not detecting my phone or else I would have used to reboot into recovery.

galaxy s bricked?

Hi,

I bought Galaxy S (I9000XWJFD) few days ago.

First I've updated it faking SoftwareRevision (to XX***) in registry... everything worked great

today I wanted to flash (using Odin) with other (newer) firmware

I found some instruction which suggested to use

PIT - plik s1_odin_20100512.pit

PDA - plik CODE_I9000XWJM6.tar

PHONE - plik MODEM_I9000XXJM3.tar

CSC - plik CSC_I9000OXAJM1.tar

but I used: s1_odin_20100803.pit

For now device boots to the Galaxy S logo and then the screen is black (nothing happens)

I can put it to download mode but my computer does not recognize device - so I can't use Odin or KIES

what can I do now?

/edit:

and there is

E: Can't mount /dev/block/st110

(invalid argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:

copy default media content failed.

[Q] Phone bricked?

I tried flashing my phone to the JPC firmware, and followed the instructions using odin.

It stayed stuck on the zImage part, and accidentaly dropped the battery out when I picked my phone up. (back was off because I had to remove the sim)

Now I'm stuck on the dotted line with a yellow exclamation mark sign.

Hey guys, I got one SGS on Saturday and it had no 3 button downloads mode, I got into the downloads mode by adb's "reboot download".

Think I bricked my phone, did I?

Don't have the energy to explain how I got to this stage, but I have ended up with the stock captivate AT&T rom on my galaxy s purchased from handtec. It won't boot to download mode, it won't boot to the other mode accessed usually by pressing v up+home+power. it powers on to a white screen with AT&T on it, much like the usual samsung galaxy s screen used to, then will turn black, then will go back to the at&t screen and sort of cycle from there.

I want to kill something.

Can this be fixed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FadeFx:
try to shut down, take out your battery, wait for 60 seconds, put battery in and try to boot to download mode then (vol down + home + power) normally this does the trick...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AXIS of Reality:
Hmmm that's unusual.

I've heard because the captivate uses a capacitive home button it boots into download mode from holding vol + power without Home (not sure whether volume up or down), so maybe try that?...

It really really hard to brick the Galaxy S, as usually even entirely wiped memory and no rom installed it can still go into download mode.

I think this should serve as a warning to other to avoid thinking the Vibrant / Captivate / Fascinate / Epic 4G are totally identical and therefore can be flashed with any rom. Their slightly different hardware (hardware vs capacitive buttons, number of buttons, number of cameras, network bands, etc) can have different drivers, which sounds like the case here of it not recognising you pressing the home button.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodue:
as far as i understand it the only real problem is that you can't get into download mode because the captivate has a different button configuration (codes). if you manage somehow to trick it to go into download mode you should be able to flash a GT-i9000 rom again. but i have no idea how to do that ... i would send samsung support an email and ask if they can help you...

If the "connect to pc" error appears, here is how to recover:

Do a power cycle (i.e remove & re-insert the battery).

Press power button (The "connect to pc" error symbol will appear)

Press and hold: volume down, home and power keys.

Once the screen turns black release the power key immediately (keep holding volume down and home keys).

The phone is now in download mode.

This also works with phones which are lacking the "3-button combo" feature.
